A lift circuit accumulator cushions the lowering when the

malfunction prevents the lift cylinder(s) from lowering. A 10
micron return line filter filters the oil as it returns to reservoir.

Pressurized oil from the accessory pump when required,


enters the brake manifold assembly containing solenoid
valves (SV-6, SV-7, SV-8 & SV-9), and goes on to the drive
wheel brakes and load wheel brakes. Pressure in the brake
accumulator will release the brakes when the brake pedal is
released. Oil from the accessory pump enters the traverse
cushion manifold. When the appropriate control lever (pivot)
is actuated, oil from the pivot control valve flows through the
pivot manifold assembly and is diverted to the appropriate
pivot cylinder. When the appropriate control lever (traverse)
is actuated, oil from the the traverse cushion manifold
containing solenoid valve (SV-12) flows through the traverse
valve to the traverse manifold onto the hydraulic motor
supplying power to traverse. The traverse manifold assem-
bly containing solenoid valves (SV-4, SV-5, SV-10) will divert
oil to the fork manifold and to the fork cylinders when the
traverse function is complete. The direction of spool move-
ment determines the direction of the accessory functions.
The oil travels through the system as above returning to the
reservoir.

FREEZER PREPARATION

Crown trucks may require a mixture of low temperature


hydraulic oil, Crown P/N 063001-006 (gal.), blended with
standard hydraulic oil, Crown P/N 063001-021 (gal.) when
used in a freezer or cooler. 100% low temperature oil is too
thin for most cold storage operations and therefore could
shorten the life of cylinder packings and pumps if used in
higher ambient temperatures.

NOTE

Trucks equipped with velocity fuses may experi-


ence staging issues if an insufficient mix of low
temperature oil has been used.

For truck applications operating continually in temperatures


at or above 32 degrees Fahrenheit, use 100% standard
hydraulic oil.

For truck applications operating continually at temperatures


of 32 Degrees Fahrenheit or below, use a 80/20 Mend, 8 0 %
low temperature (063001 -006) and 2 0 % standard hydraulic
oil (063001-021).

The proper mixture of freezer hydraulic oil will ensure the

This solenoid valve, located in the port marked with the
symbol SV10 of the manifold block, controls the direction
of fork extension cylinders. This valve is commonly referred
to as the "Traverse Flip-Flop" solenoid valve. This valve
is two position, coil (electrically) operated and spring
loaded. When energized, the spool shifts reversing the
direction of travel of the fork extension cylinders. Should
the solenoid ever have to be removed or replaced, it should
be tightened to a torque value of 160 to 170 in./lb.

NOTE
Over-torqued valve components may cause components
to malfunction. Follow torque requirements closely.
SHUTTLE VALVE

C0254 ILLUSTRATION 2.4-2


The shuttle valve is a simple ball and seat valve. It is
designed to allow hydraulic pressure to the accumulator
during traverse that provides for smooth transition from
traverse to fork extend or retract. When SV4 and SV5 are
energized or de-energized the accumulator provides a
cushion effect at transition.

SHUTTLE VALVE

CO2SA ILLUSTRATION 2.4-2

The shuttle valve is a simple ball and seat valve. It is


designed to allow hydraulic pressure to the accumulator
during traverse that provides for smooth transition from
traverse to fork extend or retract. When SV4 and SV5 are
energized or de-energized the accumulator provides a
cushion effect at transition.

Reassembly
Replace all seals and seal rings with new ones each time
you reassemble the hydraulic motor. Lubricate all seals
and seal rings with SAE10W40 oil or clean grease before
assembly.
NOTE
Individual seals and seal rings as well as a com-
plete seal kit (107300 [illustration 26]) are
available.
